Winter Gripes and Olay Body Wash

I have a gripe about the cold weather that is rapidly descending. Truthfully, since I firmly believe I was meant to live in a warm climate, I have many gripes about the cold weather that freezes me every evening.

However, in an effort to keep things simple (always my style), I'll stick with one gripe at a time.

I can't stand cracked, dry, winter skin. It's enough to make me relocate. Since relocation isn't in the cards, I've developed a system to deal with hands that feel like sandpaper and itchy arms under my sweaters. My system involves heavy moisturizers right out of my hot showers. The moisturizer needs to be thick, creamy and leave my hands looking as if I dipped them in oil. I need to apply the moisturizer immediately after I dry my skin.

When the weather really drops into the freezing zone, I can't skip my moisturizing system. Ever.

This week, I found a body wash that not only moisturizers as I wash, but prevents dry skin in the future. It smells like warm vanilla and makes me want to shower forever.

Seriously.

While shopping with Moopa, I purchased Olay® Vanilla Winter Retreat Ultra Moisture Body Wash. Since Moopa is three now, and she is fascinated with my phone and all of its gadgets, Moopa chronicled our shopping adventure.

Here is me finding the body wash:

And here is my body wash next to my French bread:

I think I have a photographer in the making. Or a broken cell phone.

Olay® has made my life easier with a body wash that smells of delicious vanilla and helps cure dry, cracked winter skin. With continued use, skin stays soft and crack-free. I'm convinced Olay's® Winter Retreat may just be the best thing since sliced bread. Or low-fat ice cream.

Olay® has made a body wash that keeps me feeling clean, my skin smelling good and my hands softer than sandpaper. I never thought I'd see the day.

I suffer from extremely dry skin and know that once the peak of the holiday season hits that Olay's Vanilla Winter Retreat Ultra Moisture Body Wash will come in perfectly handily to relax me and get me back into the joyous spirit!Thank you for the opportunity(;

My skin gets so dry during the winter - all over, not just my hands. And I love the scent of vanilla. I'm going to have to find this product! (oh, and the mini photographer starts at 3? I'm in trouble ... I can see this happening to us next year)

In the winter, I have severe dry skin. This would help to keep that in check and plus, the vanilla scent is one of my fav all-time scents too! I would not use it in the summer though, as my dry skin is not an issue then. Angie14earth at gmail dot com

I'm like you and have extremely dry skin in the winter. I live in Michigan so it gets very cold. This would be a huge help in eliminating dry skin during the winter and keeping it moisturized daily.twety800265(at)yahoo(dot)com
